OSP - Discovery image isn't configuring network interfaces

Support
1

Hello all,
We are running into issues while using the RHEL OSP installer:

HOSTNAME: myhostname
OS: redhat
RELEASE: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.1 (Maipo)
FOREMAN: 1.6-develop
RUBY: ruby 2.0.0p598 (2014-11-13) [x86_64-linux]
PUPPET: 3.6.2
DENIALS: 0

When trying to discover hosts, the discovery image is not configuring the
network interfaces. We were running into an issue during the initial
interface renaming in the discovery process so we set
biosdevname=0 net.ifnames=0
in the kernel params.

The kernel parameters for setting the root password for debugging purposes
doesn't appear to be working. Here are the parameters I'm using:
fdi.ssh=1 fdi.rootpw=redhat

When the discovery image gets to the portion where it is trying to register
facts with foreman, it looks like the network interfaces never get
configured as the DHCP address that was assigned to the discovered host is
not reachable and the status is waiting for all network devices.

Any help would be appreciated if this error has been seen before. Also,
knowing what I'm doing wrong on the kernel parameters for root login would
also be helpful.

Thanks for the time.

these instructions no longer works with (old) images version 1.x. Dig in
the git history for the README file to find what you need to add.

FDI was vastly improved in that area, our current version is 2.1 but no
longer compatible with Staypuft plugin (RHEL RHOS). You can try it, it
might work as there is some legacy fallback if the initial request
fails, but I am pessimistic.
